Jimmy Kimmel Spots This ‘Weird’ Thing About Trump in Video Clip

Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Donald Trump on Wednesday night (September 30) over the president’s latest renaming attempt: changing “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence.” But it was a video clip of the way Trump was standing that really caught Kimmel’s eye.

Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday (September 29) directing the government to refer to AI as “super intelligence,” or SI, moving forward. “Today we’ve changed the name officially to SI. Okay?” Trump told reporters. “SI instead of AI. You know what that means? Super intelligence.”

“In Washington, President Joe Renameth is, for reasons unknown to anyone other than him, boasting about his soon-to-be-failed attempt to rename AI SI. He wants artificial intelligence to become super intelligence,” Kimmel said before playing footage of Trump’s announcement.

The late-night host was particularly interested in the way the president was standing, with one leg bent inward and the other pointed in the opposite direction. “Look at how weirdly he stands while he does this,” Kimmel said, quipping, “Even his posture is crooked. Everything about him.”

Kimmel went on to say how the CEOs of some of these big AI companies have actually asked the government to “help regulate us, put up guardrails, so we don’t end up exterminating human life.”

The president doesn’t want that, though; he wants these companies to “self-police,” Kimmel noted. “Remember how in the Terminator movies, the Terminator stopped when they asked him politely to stop terminating? That’s what he wants,” the comedian joked.

“This is like asking your kids to self-police their Halloween candy,” he continued. “It doesn’t work. And nobody’s better at managing their impulse control than these tech billionaires. You leave them alone for one weekend, they come back with the ugliest truck you’ve ever seen.”

Kimmel then highlighted something that summed up the entire situation. He referenced Trump’s meeting with tech leaders, in which he signed the “White House Accord on Super Intelligence.” The president later posted an image of the document on Truth Social.

“But look at the signature,” Kimmel said before pointing out a spelling error. “‘Donald J. Trump, President of the Unites States.”

“Could there ever be a better metaphor for this presidency than misspelling United States on a document about super intelligence?” Kimmel added. “There’s nothing these people can’t screw up.”
